Instructions
Before writing any code, gather this information:
-
Deployment target: Local Chroma or Chroma Cloud?
- If Cloud: they'll need API key, tenant, and database configured
- If Local: determine if they need persistence or ephemeral storage
-
Search type (Cloud only): Dense only, or hybrid search?
- Dense only: simpler setup, good for most semantic search
- Hybrid (dense + sparse): better for keyword-heavy queries, use SPLADE
-
Embedding model: Which provider/model?
- Default:
@chroma-core/default-embed(TypeScript) or built-in (Python) - OpenAI:
text-embedding-3-largeis most popular, requires@chroma-core/openai - Ask the user if they have a preference or existing provider
- Default:
